Background
Currently a PostDoc researcher in Perceiving Systems at the MPI for Intelligent Systems, where he completed his Ph.D. under the guidance of Professor Michael J. Black and Dr. Dimitrios Tzionas. His research focuses on generating Virtual Humans that move and interact with 3D scenes and objects like Real Humans. Research interests include precise motion capture, 3D reconstruction from images, Human-Scene Interaction, 3D representation, and recently, diffusion models and Large Language Models (LLMs).
